On the last Saturday of January, every year now for 28 years, Mount Holly New Jersey plays host to about a dozen professional ice carvers from up and down the east coast, an equal number of professional chili chefs plus a wide variety of interesting entertainment for young, old and everyone in between. The ice carvers transform 300-pound blocks of ice into beautiful crystalline works of art, right before your eyes, throughout town, beginning at 10:00 and continuing until 4:00 p.m. This annual free family friendly event makes for a great day to knock around Mount Holly. And yes, lots of photo opportunities. Post (and find) your pictures on social media with the hashtag #FandINJ.
Stop by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance table and say hello!
